Keyboard number keys 1 to 9 stopped working

keyboard number keys 1 to 9 stopped working after last update

Hello ali_besso,
Start with the article below to troubleshoot issues with the article below. What you will want to do is to open up the Keyboard View on your Mac and test to see if it actually not responding to your input. You will also want to test it out in another user as well as trying to start up your Mac in Safe Mode. 
One or more keys on the keyboard do not respond

  • My built-in  key board has stopped working how can i fix this?

    my built-in key board has stopped working all of a sudden how can i fix this?

    Did you spill any liquids on your keyboard?  If you are in the habit of eating and drinking while using your computer, the keyboard is probably dirty.  Use a can of compressed air or a vacuum hose to remove the debris underneath the key.  If that does not work, you may actually have a hardware issue.
    If you Apple Care, call them and get a case number.  Otherwise, take the computer to an Apple store or an AASP.  Whichever is more convenient for you.  Liquid damage is not covered under Apple's standard 1 year warranty or Apple Care.
    NOTE:  If you are out of warranty and purchased the computer with a credit card, discuss the warranty issue with the credit card company which you purchased the computer with.   They are the only ones who can at this point cover the computer after it goes out of warranty with the manufacturer (Apple).
          If you have Homeowners insurance, place a claim with them.

    If they do nothing at all, double check system preferences/speech and make sure they have not somehow gotten set as the trigger for Text to speech or speech recognition, etc.
    Also try an external keyboard.  If it works ok, then your internal keyboard is probably damaged and needs repair or replacement.

    Hello there,
    It sounds like you're going to either need your keyboard replaced, or have the buttons fixed. You can either have this done professionally, or personally, since the warranty states that you're permitted to replace the keyboard. For more information on how to replace it, visit this pdf and scroll down to keyboard, under replacement. https://www.google.com/url?sa=t&source=web&rct=j&ei=4U2bVeSZOMSu-QGwtIuIBQ&url=http://h10032.www1.hp.com/ctg/Manual/c03935332&ved=0CCIQFjAB&usg=AFQjCNFI7Za3MTOYi3U2gqYwky_v2R-eIA&sig2=BEpyqWkFFkSjkR0z4r5v-Q

  • None of the "option + number key" mappings seem to work

    Hi,
    I am trying to use the *Canadian French - CSA keyboard layout* and none of the *option + number key* mappings seem to work.
    For example, when I type *option + 2* (in the "Canadian French - CSA keyboard layout"), it should print @ but instead nothing is printed and I sometimes hear the alert sound.
    Spaces is not activated and no keyboard shotcuts are assigned to the keys.
    In the keyboard viewer I can see the keys light up when I type the combinations but still, nothing happens.
    Even if I press option and click the 2 (@) with my mouse in the keyboard viewer, the character will not print!
    All other *option + key* mappings seem to work, the problem is only with number keys.

    Try this:

    I found a way to fix it. Simply restart the dock by using "killall Dock" in the terminal.

  • Airport and keyboard number keys not working

    Hello community
    I bought my MacBook Pro 15/2.4/2X1GB/250/SD in 2008 and it is finally showing some signs of shutting down. For now, my airport card doesnt seem to be working, nor are my number keys 0-9. Can anyone suggest me what part should I buy (airport card model), where I should buy it from and how to fix it without going to the local store which is charging me around £500 for the repair?
    Thanks in advance.
    Varun

    You can try the US store - http://www.ifixit.com/ - which should have AirPort cards for your MacBook Pro - http://www.ifixit.com/Device/MacBook_Pro_15%22.

  • Some keys and functions stop working when i switch users.

    2 people use my computer and just recently when i switch to my user, the special function keys stop working (screen and keyboard brightness - not sure what other keys aren't working. spaces works and so does play/pause etc). also i can't log out using the key short cuts nor by going to the menu and selecting Log Out.
    switching back to the other user, the keys still work. and if i set the brightness there when i switch back the setting remain on my side. but i can't control them. the only way to get them back is to restart the computer which i can't do from my user. when i select restart, it beach balls for a few seconds then nothing happens.

    Search for PRAM Reset On Mac.  Unless restrictions of some kind are set on that other user, this shouldn't be happening.

  • Fn + Spacebar key combinatio​n stopped working

    Fn + Spacebar key combination stopped working.
    I am using Windows 7.
    FWIW, I typed the key combination  "Ctrl +" which Windows 7 uses for magnification. Could this have overridden my Lenovo keypad settings??
    Thank you, 
    Solved!

    ForZak,
    I completely understand your frustration,
    I believe your model T520 has the Windows Logo on the keyboard? This may be a workaround, Are you able to use this combination?
    Windows logo key + Plus Sign (+) or Minus Sign (-)
    Zoom in or out
    Crossing my fingers for you.
    Thank you for being a part of the Lenovo Family,

  • Keys hang or stop working

    Hi,
    MacBook Pro 3GHz i7, OS 10.9.5
    In the middle of working sometimes the keyboard freezes. Sometimes a single key repeats like crazy, today a single key just stopped working. In these cases the only solution seems to be to restart the computer, sometimes it needs to be restarted several times to have the keyboard start working again.
    I found a thread suggesting to close the screen for a minute, but that does not help much. Restarting seems to be the only thing that works.
    Any ideas?

    I think I solved it myself...
    so it seems that I had the beta version installed... and I just install the release version over that...
    I remember this problem existed in the beta version too.
    so what I did was uninstall release facetime and reboot.
    then install with facetime.dmg (beta version)
    then uninstall again by dragging the beta facetime.app to the trash bin and reboot again
    then install again the release version.
    everything is okay after that...
    oh one note... I did log out before every uninstall.
    Thanks

  • Quick key for deselect stopped working. CS6

    All updated, restarted and still it will not work. What could be causing this??

    No idea about another program. I actually took your advice and went to edit the keyboard short cut and selected different keys than command D. It worked. Still puzzled as to why the old fashioned way stopped working. Command works with other letter combinations.
    Thanks

  • My wireless key pad just stops working?

    why does my key pad stop working? I've four now. Has anyone else had the same problem and how did you cure it?

    Thats the first thing to do. Der Brain
    Unfortunately, the "battery level" always says 100%.. And there's no low level battery warning as with the mouse.
    so i swop batteries with my mouse just to make sure.
    So if your wireless key pad battery level is below 20% and you are running multiple programs... should you need to restart your computer you'll have problems..
    Can someone at " Apple "  have a look at this issue Please..
    So far i've found if i un pair my keyboard before replacing batteries I can then pair up again but i must switch bluetooth on first...
